To be clear, I have never wanted to do that, and I don't think it is the right path - I hope R. Stogner, Esquire is simply offering that as what strict compliance would mean for us. I certainly applaud what the GPL tries to accomplish, but I also feel it is orthogonal to what libMesh is trying to accomplish. If someone wants to use our code to build a closed source app I don't really have a problem with that, in fact I would be willing to sell them a support contract. ;-) My main thought with the LGPL originally was that the GPL may be too heavy handed for paranoid academic types... Now what I think is Roy's point though - if someone *does* want to create a GPL app that uses libMesh I'm all for that too, and agree we should facilitate that to the extent possible. -Ben ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
